Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of mechanical equipment transmission mechanisms, and more specifically, relates to a spatial multi-ring linkage mechanism with a constant transmission ratio. Background Technology

[0002] Mechanical transmission components such as worm gears, racks and pinions, and sprockets and chains can transmit motion at a constant transmission ratio and are widely used in many mechanical equipment. However, these transmission components are not suitable for applications requiring low inertia to achieve high-speed reciprocating motion, such as high-speed parallel mechanisms and legged robots. This is because high-speed reciprocating motion would subject the contact points of higher pairs to significant impact, leading to noise, vibration, and damage. Furthermore, compared to linkage mechanisms, transmission components such as worm gears are more expensive and more difficult to manufacture. Therefore, in some applications, designers use lower-pair linkage mechanisms with low inertia and simpler structures to replace higher-pair transmission components. Currently, the applicant has proposed multi-ring planar linkage mechanisms and multi-ring planar linkage mechanisms to achieve constant transmission ratio motion between parallel or intersecting axes; however, no corresponding spatial multi-ring linkage mechanism has been designed for constant transmission ratio motion between skew axes. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a spatial multi-ring linkage mechanism with a constant transmission ratio, which solves the problem of high-pair low-pair replacement of interlaced shaft gear pairs or worm gears, realizes a spatial multi-ring linkage mechanism with a constant transmission ratio, and thus reduces the noise, vibration and damage of the transmission device under high-speed reciprocating motion environment.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:
